We took a trip down to London to spend some time with Kish Kash, talking Sneakers, Music, hard work and more, even taking in some recommended miso with the man himself.

The conversation explores the evolution of cultural influence, particularly in the context of hip hop and sneaker culture. The speakers discuss the term "influencer" and its loaded connotations, contrasting it with "cultural curator." We delve into the history of Aylesbury, highlighting its musical and cultural impact, including figures like Rob Stringer and Silver Bullet. The discussion touches on the influence of Malcolm McLaren and the crossover of music and fashion. The speakers also reflect on the importance of archiving and documenting cultural artifacts, emphasizing the need for future generations to understand the now.
